In Il mito delle Sirene. Immagini e racconti dalla Grecia a oggi, Maurizio Bettini and Luigi Spina explore the enduring figure of the siren from ancient Greece to the present. The volume first offers a narrative retelling of the myth—inviting the reader into a richly evocative world of hybridized beings, between bird, fish and woman—then moves into a critical essay tracing the siren’s iconography and literary transformations across epochs. With an interdisciplinary approach combining mythology, visual culture, philology, and anthropology, this work examines how the siren has symbolized seduction, danger, otherness and the limits of human knowledge. Beneath the fascination with physical hybridity lies a subtle investigation of voice, silence, boundary-crossing, and the uncanny in cultural memory.
